| Description of Subjects/Issues |
These rules will implement HB 21-1094, which was signed into law on 6/25/2021 and requires the State Board of Human Services to promulgate rules for implementation. HB 21-1094 establishes the Foster Youth in Transition Program, a youth-driven and developmentally appropriate approach to extended foster care. This program further establishes a pathway for eligible youth to reenter foster care between the ages of 18 and 21. HB 21-1094’s extensive reforms require significant revision to the Colorado Code of Regulations, 12 CCR 2509 (Volume 7). These rules will ensure consistent statewide implementation and support counties in understanding what they are required to provide to youth who request services through the program. NOTE: Due to the ongoing COVID-19 situation, it is anticipated that this meeting will take place entirely online.

| Comments |
CDHS holds two public hearings, an initial and final, for each proposed rule packet. The initial hearing allows the public an opportunity to submit written data, views, or arguments and to testify for or against the proposed rules. The Board does not vote on the proposed rule at the initial hearing, but asks CDHS to consider all public comment and discussion and, if needed, submit revisions to the proposed rule. The final hearing, usually the month following the initial hearing, allows the same opportunity for public comment, after which the Board votes on final adoption of the proposed rule. NOTE: Due to the ongoing COVID-19 situation, it is anticipated that this meeting will take place entirely online.
